Here are two quilts I just finished for my nephews. 

Now I just need to get them in the mail they were Christmas presents...oops!!

The best part about these quilts is I only had to spend a total of $14.00 to make them since I only had to buy batting.  All the fabric came out of my stash (plus my Aunt gave me the red dog fabric, so thanks Aunt Peg).

Josiah's Dog Quilt

His name is embroidered on the quilt.

Appliqued dog.

Titus' quilt.

I have been wanting to do something with a Robot on it for a long time!

The tag on the back of the quilt. (I forgot to take a picture of the dog tag.)

I find these old Jewelery Boxes all the time at Thrift Stores and Garages Sales but they are so ugly.

 I found this one at a garage sale for only a $1.00...score.

And here it is with a little white paint.  I replaced the ugly glass with some wire.  It's now in my daughter's room.

This one I found at a Thrift Store, I just loved the lines on the top of the box. 

I sold this one at the Makers' Market.

I do not have a before picture of these boxes but they were both ugly. 

I made these for my nieces.

Another Jewelry box makeover for another niece.

So I thought I would pay tribute to Sports since tomorrow is 

Super Bowl Sunday.  

And for those of you who know me realize I know nothing or could care anything about sports unless it means making it cuter or taste better.

So here is my "Making Sports Cuter" post

& 

my "Making Sports Taste Better" post

My son received this soccer goal/net for Christmas.  

Perfect gift for him but it came with a problem.

When you take it apart it has a million pieces 

-okay maybe not a million but it sure felt like it-

So I had to do something about this problem.

And here is the problem solution. 

A Soccer Bag!

It cost about $4.50 to make and was worth every penny.

I think I will stand by these in Toys R' Us and sale them to other moms who like organization.

I also made one for my nephew (he received one of these for Christmas too).

All right so now that the sports world is Cuter...let's make it taste better.

These amazing Peanut Butter-Chocolate Cupcakes 

from Annie's Eats 

one of my go to Recipe Blogs.

They are sooo, sooo, sooo yummy.  

Now I know you are wondering??  What makes them "Sporty."

Well...the sprinkles of course they are little Football Helmets and Footballs though very hard to see in this picture. 

I made them for my co-workers and I know they will LOVE them.

Happy Super Bowl to us!

Look at the inside of these...a ball of peanut butter filling yumminess!!

Remember to not fill the cupcake liners to high (as I did) only 2/3 full.

I also made my own frosting using leftover peanut butter filling, some cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk.
